Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 2 loaves
Ingredients
2¾ cups warm water
3½ teaspoons yeast
1 Tablespoons salt
1½ Tablespoons sugar (or raw sugar)
5½ cups whole wheat flour milled from hard white wheat
Instructions
Dump all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix by hand with a spoon. The dough will be sticky and lumpy but not to worry, that is exactly what you want. Mix for three or four minutes at the most.
Cover the bowl with a towel and set in a warm place to rise. Depending on the temperature in your home, this first rise will take 1½ to 2 hours.
When the dough has is about double in size, remove the cover and stir it back down. Immediately ease the dough into 2 loaf pans.
Once again, set the dough aside and allow it to rise until it reaches the top of the pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and generously brush with melted coconut oil (or butter if you prefer). Let cool about 10 minutes then turn out of the pan.
Cool completely before cutting. This bread is incredible toasted and topped with butter, jam, honey, or good-for-you coconut oil.
